Good evening.

Her Majesty the Queen's State funeral is on Monday September 19th at 11am UK time at Westminster Cathedral.

It has been deemed a bank holiday so we can all watch her funeral.

Graham.

 

 

@grapau27 Graham,

 Your information is incorrect.

The service for Her Majesty  Queen Elizabeth  will be held at Westminster Abbey.

 

Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

Thought it was an appropriate time to show a favorite place for Her Royal Majesty, the Royal Yacht Britannia that we recently visited in Edinburgh, Scotland.

 

 

Bruce, thanks for the pictures of the Britannia.  We enjoyed our visit to the ship in. 2017.  I hope your foot is better and I hope you move up on the cancelation list for the dishwasher installation.

Here's a prayer written by Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi of the UK, in an artistic rendering by Joanne Fink.

Our local rabbi read this in the services this Sabbath, and sang many of the prayers to the melodies typically used in British synagogues. This was a bit much for an American congregation, but he was in Canada for five years before coming year.

Remember that my flight from Amsterdam was full of people who seemed ill? I caught whatever it was, and while I haven't been very sick, I've felt under the weather since Tuesday.

 

I'm still thinking about cancelling my next cruise, from New Orleans on the Norwegian Breakaway, partly because of the mixed-up flight arrangements, partly because of the vloggers and their groupies, who are sounding more and more like a nuisance, and partly because I'm not enthusiastic about the ports. The final payment is due October 1.

It’s very smoky here this evening, my eyes are stinging.  The smoke is evidently coming from Washington State.  I imagine Vancouver will be bad tomorrow, too.  We went to church this evening, as Mass is usually 5 on Sundays on the ships, and we thought we would prefer to be outside at sailaway, but maybe it won’t be clear.  Maybe we’ll go to church again!  
 

@kochleffel, have you tested yourself, to see if it is Covid?  One good thing about getting it, evidently you won’t get it again for a few months.

@HAL4NOW, are you OK?  Did you have to evacuate?  Smoky over here, but not at all like where you are.  Hope your home is safe.

Actually, our air quality isn't too bad. We have not had any ash fall because it is all blowing to the west. I have been out with the fire department and food bank, and just as a neighbor all day. Baked cookies with the generator running so the fire department wouldn't run out of sweets. Our power is off until at least Monday evening.

I haven't been online all day because of all the activity. Skykomish is housing a number of people that were evacuated from Grotto and Baring. Index is under level two alert, Skykomish is still just level one evacuation notice. We have meals set up at the Masonic lodge for fire fighters and community members. 

As long as the wind doesn't drastically change, I think we have avoided any need to evacuate. Plan on having church services in the morning with potluck after church for anyone that wants to join.

Highway 2 is still closed indefinitely from Skykomish down to almost Gold Bar. Spot fires have jumped the highway a few places.

We did have some air resources out of Moses Lake for a short time, but too much turbulence for them to continue flying. This fire is very hot, moving fast, and creating some crazy wind patterns.

@smitty34877Thanks for the picture of Miss Camilla, she's very cute!

[StLouisCruisers]

Terry @smitty34877what a darling photo of Camilla!  Thank you for sharing with us.

 

@HAL4NOWI hope everyone in that area is staying safe from the fires.  Sounds like everyone is working together to improve the situation.  Hope the winds die down some.
